I still prefer the red one I posted. Both of the silver cars are too overdone for me.

Except I'd change the wing and rims on the red one.

Unless that has been tested in a windtunnel and actually carries a benefit it's stupid.
I think it's ugly either way.

Widebody kits don't really improve aerodynamics anyways, racecars like those in the JGTC just have then so they can run wider tires and not violate the closed wheel regulation.

The TRD one looks very nice though.

What makes you think that JGTC teams don't throw their cars in a wind tunnel every once in a while?

Just as an example: the Champion Racing Audi RS6 which runs in Speed World Challenge is on its umpteenth revised front fascia, each one having been tested in a wind tunnel. And there's a lot more money being spent in JGTC than in World Challenge.

What I mean is they could achieve better aerodynamics without a widebody and having their tires stick out a couple inches.
